YellowSquare Reviews: Florence

I loved staying in Yellow Square Florence. It was by far my favorite stay of the whole trip and I would 100% visit again. I reserved staying at Yellow Square Milan hoping to have the same expectations as Florence. It didn’t turn out that way but I loved Yellow square in Florence!!

Great stay. Easy booking and check in. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good sized bathroom with towels and bedding provided (cleaned every day). Pool great with bar beside. 20% off drinks a bonus! Breakfast will set you up for a day of walking. Wide range of activities to take part in if you wish. Some noise from the disco but easily ignored.

The overall experience of YellowSquare was really good. Not a horrible location if you like to walk. All the facilities are good. Enjoyed having access to decent food, although I thought drinks could’ve been a little cheaper for a hostel.
Only negatives would be the poor water pressure and the fact the beds have rods for curtains but no curtains.

Quite frankly this place was well-overpriced while more than 1 members of the staff were reticent to lend a hand and were unsympathetic about simple requests. One would imagine that after spending nearly 400 dollars in 3 nights that this place would want to court customers. I’d be happy not to return!

Couldn’t have been any better tbh. Rooms are great, clean and modern. Vibe is great, pool is wonderful. Cheap food and coffee at the bar. 10/10 would recommend, can’t think of anything that needs changing. Close to the tram that takes you straight into the city but otherwise is only a 20-25min walk into the Centre anyway. Tick of approval for solo traveler

Ot would be nice to have multiple showers and toilets in the 6 bed dorms . Nevertheless, I had a really good experience. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was joyful!!

Great hostel, really made an effort to make sure there were social activities on all the time so it’s really easy to meet other travellers. Great pool area on the roof, perfect after a morning of exploring! Prices aren’t too bad and location is a short walk from the centre

The best place to stay in Florence if your young, social, outgoing, solo traveller or not. Fun, organized, cool, chill.

Very nice and clean, great layout, amazing pool and bar area!

This hostel has the best vibes, and all the daily activities make it super easy to meet people and have fun! The pool is so good, and the hostel facilities were all great! It’s location is a 3min tram ride away from the main station, it’s also walkable if you want to.
Would absolutely recommend staying here!

Comfy bed, clean, AC, nice pool, good bars and extracurricular activities. Friendly staff was always helpful and let me practice il mio italiano 😘

A little expensive but VERY fun and conveniently located place to stay. The pool was great in the summer heat.

Can’t get over how nice the staff are here! The Hostel is so clean and gorgeous aswell, and the pool does not disappoint. Shoutout to Laurie, Juliette, and Thomas! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Florence

My favourite hostel yet. Staff are amazing, facilities are amazing, clean, spacious rooms, great vibes

This hostel was perfect for our stay in Florence. It is just a 2 minute walk to the tram that takes you to the city centre and train station. The room was clean and supplied towels and soap. The facilities were great, with a rooftop bar and pool, cafe, and many free events going on. The staff were all super friendly and helpful with everything we need. Would recommend for young travellers.

Hostel was clean and quiet. AC worked very well.

It was so nice to be welcomed this kindly ! The rooftop swimming pool really improved our experience as well as the nice patio and the great quality of their food and drinking service !

The hostel was great, good location, great facilities, lovely people. Can’t recommend it enough.

I had such a good time here. The facilities are top, the bars and the pool were great, and the staff were so sweet, welcoming and helpful. I thought the location would be worse than it was. Theres a tram super nearby, and if you’re not carrying a ton of luggage you can walk to the city. I was impressed by the restaurants nearby the hostel.

Staff were incredible and all so lovely, we did the karaoke in the bar and had an amazing time, the breakfast options in the morning were so cheap but incredible! Highly recommend

It was so great! Everyone very kind!

Yellowsquare is an amazing place to go as a solo traveler because of how open everyone is to making new friends. My favorite activity’s were the mixology class taught by Johnny, the arts and crafts and the Karaoke. In addition to being an amazing place solo traveling it is also very welcoming to larger groups too! Definitely my favorite hostel so far.

The hostel is very fun and lively. I enjoyed the breakfast, the beds were comfy and clean, there was a fun night life, great outdoor and indoor seating areas, and the staff were super friendly. However, there seemed to be bit of a mosquito problem as 2 members of my party had to be moved out of their original room due to being excessively bitten (the staff was very nice about this), as well as the shower smelled like urine. Overall this hostel felt very safe and I would definitely check out the other Yellow Square Hostels in different cities!

Really great hostel experience. Beds were great/ clean rooms and bathroom. The staff was so welcoming and nice. Also the people I met were all friendly and we ended up all hanging out with each other.
Love the free first drink. Lobby and outdoor seating was comfortable and perfect place to relax after traveling.
Bad things: I do wish it were in the city center. It can be a long walk back at night.
One night the mosquitoes were soooo bad in one of the rooms I stayed in. I couldnt sleep. I ended up changing rooms where this wasn’t a problem.
Pool could be cleaner

– clean and tidy private room
– shower was terrible, very slow water pressure
– breakfast very average
– pool and pool side bar nice, but terrible music played by the hostel manager
– location was ok
– staff were nice but could have been more professional
– asked staff not to clean my room during the day but they did it anyway

The building is new and very modern with all sorts of amenities and activities for the guests.
The staff is VERY VERY nice and helpful and we feel connected with them.

All in all a good hostel. There should be more bathrooms, WCs and showers

Great place

Definitely the nicest and coolest hostel I’ve ever been at, the people were great workers and just other hostel goers which was nice

I don’t think that having a club in the same building is ideal. I stayed two night and barely sleep both nights. The first night there was karaoke night and second day I can feel and hear the club music from bottom floor.
Very nice atmosphere and facility but not a good place for a good sleep.

Staff was super welcoming. The place had so many qualities, the pool, activities, nice bar and restaurant, great location. Felt clean and provided with necessities!

I really enjoyed the awesome look of the hostel. The food and drinks were very good. And the atmosphere was great as well.

Loved my stay at Yellow Square! Very social hostel and the rooftop pool was fantastic. Rooms were clean AB’s air conditioned. Staff were super helpful – would definitely stay again!

Nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in. Rooftop pool with a beautiful view. Staff was very friendly and helpful

Overall a great time, met many great people and had a lot of fun! Was mostly comfortable but had a few issues with some of the staff. When I expressed discomfort with being coerced into buying alcohol when I did not want it I was told that it was all a joke and that I needed to get over it. When my friend asked about it too she was given a similar response. I was approached later by the same staff member who told me to tell my friend that she was being dramatic and aggressive and needed to back off. They also did not do much to help when a friend was stranded with a dead phone and could not get back on her own. While they told me the part of the city she was in wasn’t great they did not do anything beyond inform me that no taxi services were available, did not provide any alternative solutions. Apart from these interactions I had no other issues with my stay
